I dunno. I guess I’m afraid that if I let myself get one white supremacy face tattoo, then it’d be hard to keep myself from wanting a couple dozen more.
I know I’m definitely like that with potato chips, anyway.

You know, the interesting thing about neo-nazis is that they’re so sure of their way of life (or at least this one is… or he better be). A 27-year-old fellow by the name of Curtis Michael Allgier made the news recently when he made an escape from a Utah hospital during a medical examination, killing the security guard watching over him, and hijacking an SUV.

Whatever ‘graduating’ means, I did that. A University degree is like a motorized miter saw, I have one but have no idea how to use it. I can’t even begin to tell you how much money I wasted last summer on botching my crown moldings.
Studying Philosophy and the history of ideas intensively for the past five years might sound difficult and deep and interesting, as if it required a certain degree of meticulousness. Although in many ways it did, the entire process has merely been an extension of something we’re all familiar with.
